This traditional flat-iron hanging basket holds the secret to a beautiful flowering display: an AquaSav™ Basket Liner. Developed for the commercial nursery trade, this basket requires 50% less watering than standard baskets. Sandwiched between layers of natural coir fiber is a water-retaining liner made of 100% recycled post-consumer plastic. It retains the look of a traditional hayrack planter but with built-in drought insurance. It's a lifesaver for flowers, especially if they're exposed to both sun and wind.

These are very pretty and the liner feels like it will be a good base and hold moisture well. They arrived quickly and in great shape. I was also shocked at how light they are which is nice. I think they will look beautiful hanging in front of the house.

These baskets are perfect for our patio, the aquasav liners are a MUST for our climate, and the basket is very sturdy. We've bought many hanging baskets over the years and love the ones we purchased from Gardener's Supply! They are well worth the investment! Our plants love them too!

Most of my baskets are 12", but every now and then, a larger basket is called for, especially with trailing/vining plants. This one suits my needs perfectly. As well, the thicker metal basket frame is attractive and functional. That it also has the Aqua Saver liner for better water retention is a plus.

I have purchased more of these baskets than any other product from this Company. This is my hands down favorite product. It has worked great at keeping my flowers from going into shock, by maintaining the water levels.

We used cocoa matts in hanging baskets for years. Every Summer the chenille would wilt in the heat, and the matts did not allow water to be maintained/retained. These baskets are amazing. Functioned as promised. We have reduced the watering requirements for our 7 hanging baskets.

I would NOT recommend these planters. I bought three to use for hanging plants on my patio a couple of years ago. I bought one from the local garden center at the same time. The paint on the Gardener's Supply baskets began peeling after the first year and after two the baskets look horrible and the metal is getting very rusty. I'm getting ready to take these down and replace them with more of the green wire ones from the garden center which seem to be holding up fine. Bottom line - they look great at first but they don't last.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
